My Last Relationship

First day of freshman year I'm feeling excitement mixed with fear After a few days The fear begins to fade But the excitement stays Everything is so new And there's so much to do

Brown-eyed boy of sixteen Instant attraction like a movie scene Being fourteen and having low self-esteem I couldn't see how he could ever like me It obviously wasn't meant to be

Slowly but surely, it happened in time But the end of September I could call him mine

It was like no other relationship I'd been in He told me he loved me, and it seemed so genuine It was so good, I thought it would last forever I didn't think that forever would mean never

Sure enough, soon he turned I had a feeling I was going to get burned I called him out for being distant Said that his emotions weren't consistent He called me crazy and said I was wrong He then continued to string me along

He ended it officially in a few days Much to my dismay Breaking up was the only thing to do He knew it and I knew it too

Then for a while he was all I thought about I thought of him and cried my eyes out

My eyes have dried But I still hide From what I really feel My love for him is still very real But I tell myself to forget the past Because I know we were never meant to last
